Detective Pikachu

[Silvermoth]

It's going to be weird to see pikachu with fur. I suppose they will want to make it realistic?

I hope not though, he's iconic the way he is.

Will other Pokemon be in this? Fran Drescher for charmander

Well they kind of had to to be honest. No one wants a repeat of that ghost in the shell situation last year.

Watanabe is the guy you get when you want to adapt something Japanese but you don't want to get busted for white washing

I can't believe that this is actually happening.

Who the hell would steal a Graveler?

Who the hell would steal a Graveler?

Rocket Armadello and Meowth started a Pokemon slave trade, abusing a human mafia-lite as a front.
Graveler is good for digging.

 

[Inhuman117]

God i can't wait for this

 

[Neno_Kos]

this images just set a picture in my mind this is actually happening

 

[Lily Adler]

You wish it would be as poorly acted as that masterpiece.

Let them fight.

Who the hell would steal a Graveler?

Well you know that the technology exists...

So this movie exists in a world where Humans and Pokemon exist together? Is there a chance now that should this do well, we could see Red or Ash's story taking place in that universe and adapted to the big screen?

Closer look at Panchum, Machoke and Graveller

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Well you know that the technology exists...

Spoiler

As long as those ****s don't break out of the ball, or simply push it aside like Pidgeoto did.

 

[Lily Adler]

Eek. Graveler is scary up close.

 

[Gold Samurai]

Pancham looks serious. It's like he's smoking a cigarette instead of chewing on a green leaf.

These designs could look really great or terribly wrong like those "What would pokemon look like in real life" posts.

Who the hell would steal a Graveler?

Maybe stealing a Graveler counts the same as trading, and they just want Golem.

 

[Silvermoth]

Oh no please don't make it too dark and gritty. I mean even the original game detective pikachu was a send up of the noir genre but it was still pretty light right?

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Join the dark side of the Pokemon Force.

Alolan Golem is better, yo.

Hardly doubt they're gonna make this dark.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Still shocked by all of this lol.

The director of Goosebumps is behind this. We are going to be okay in that regard.

That said, an R-Rated PikaPool would've been great.

 

[DaddlerTheDalek]

It's happening. Wow.

 

[#root]

It's a bit of an unorthodox approach but Alex Hirsch is a good writer and the cast they're getting is great. Would've actually been excited about this had it not been for the director. How is this guy still working after Gulliver's Travels?

Well Goosebumps was a good movie.
